I am not much into legislating away your right to do any recreational drug.
Your body your choice (my view on abortion also).
However, if I had to argue for the legalization of pot in today's climate I would just compare the effects of pot addiction ot alcoholism.
Alcohol abuse is much more detrimental to the body than pot use. This is mainly because it breaks down into acetylaldehyde, a substance 20 times more toxic than alcohol itself and akin to fromaldehyde.
And pot tends to have more value in society as far as calming people down and aiding sleep vs. the destructive/addictive power of sleeping pills, anti-anxiety drugs, and alcohol.
